I'll answer as many of the questions as I can.

Its doing this as youre firing, or when youre racking one in? As I am firing, I've tried to rack it slow and fast but it wont do it.
Is it a particular mag? its a good idea to mark your mags. I've marked my mags since. It didn't do it with 3, 5, or 9 at the Heartland match the other night. That only leaves 6 more possibilities
How many rounds does the recoil assembly have on it? I think more than 1,000 but probably less than 2,000, Maybe more than 1,500
Are they reloads? If so, do they chamber check? Not reloads. I shoot federals, S&B's, blazer, blazer brass, winchester, and one more but I can't remember. I wanna say it did it with federals or the s&b's. I shot blazer and blazer brass at Heartland the other night and didn't have a problem.
Does the barrel opening and hood have any crudded up carbon? I clean my pistol before each match so I don't think its crudded up
Does the breechface or extractor have any crud, nicks or gouges the case rim can be hanging up on? No.
Youre now a detective; its up to your powers of deduction to figure it out!

The more I think about it, it may be the S&B's bullet. Would a more pointy bullet be more prone to do this? I don't have any more of the S&B's but it seems like they were more pointed than any of the other ones. I'm an idiot when I load mags and just load from whatever box I have, then grab another usually different box when it runs out. I've mostly have all blazer and blazer brass now. And some federal.
Here's a shy-T video of it doing it.

It did it on a couple different stages.
It also did it a few times at the Heatland match in April. I know I had some S&B then.
Its a live round that hangs. It comes out of the mag and hits the top of the chamber as its going in the barrel and gets lodged there. I can rack the slide ant it ejects it and puts another in. Easy fix but if its my pistol's fault, I wanna get it fixed. This is also my CCW pistol.
It does it at the beginning of the vid and again a few times starting at 3:30.
OH...... and my slide isn't locking back! BUT I am 90% sure that its because the way my grip is, I have my thumb touching the slide release.
At the end of my Heartland video from Sunday i shoot the entire mag then reload and the slide isn't locked back. From my hat cam view, I'm pretty sure its because of my grip
